Hospice Helpers

What are Hospice Helpers?

Companies, organizations and community groups that organize various fundraising events and activities to benefit Hospice Buffalo.  Many thanks go out to these groups for their time and effort, and to the Hospice volunteers who assist as needed.  If your event raises $250 or more, we will list it in the following issue of the Hospice newsletter, DATELINE, circulation 40,000.  Funds raised through the Hospice Helpers are unrestricted and support patient care, our greatest need.

If your company or organization is interested in fundraising for Hospice, please download the following attachments.  All organizations/groups must submit an Application Form, providing all necessary information, including targeted donations and sponsorship requests, inclusive of media, and a main contact person for your organization/group prior to the event/activity.  Upon receipt of the application, the Hospice Foundation will review, and approve or decline Hospice's participation.
